I think the main thing with TC plants, is they are slow in the beginning, and require gradual acclimation to the outdoors, however pups can sit around doing nothing for a month or more after being seperated from the mother corm. It all depends, but both methods are result in good plants if properly cared for. Just my .02
Hi! Thanks for the reply! Wow! It grew that much from just a small 2” plant? Unbelievable! Very impressive! Great info on tc! Here I was getting ready to get rid of my small tc bananas! Guess I don’t have to now!
